In Kogi: Faleke Says Bello’s Govt Is Full Of Impunity And Recklessness

The running mate of the late governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi State, James Faleke, has lambasted the state governor, Yahaya Bello, over the impeachment of the Speaker of the Kogi House of Assembly, Momoh Lawal, the deputy speaker, Kolawole Matthew, and the majority leader, Alih Ajuh.

Barely two days ago, five out of the 20 members of the legislature removed Lawal and immediately elected Umar Imam as the new speaker.

In his reaction, Faleke totally condemned the impeachment of the lawmakers, stating that it is an illegality sponsored by the government of Yahaya Bello.

In a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle on Tuesday, Faleke who described the impeachment as the height of impunity and recklessness said, “I was told that five out of the 20 members of the Kogi State House of Assembly – supported by the illegal government of Yahaya Bello – have impeached the speaker.

“The impeachment of the speaker by five out of the 20 members of the assembly is another illegality sponsored by the government of Yahaya Bello.

“The impunity and recklessness under Bello in Kogi State must stop. We cannot afford to be in the news for the wrong reasons always.”
